Yes.

The first is calling the class method and passing in an instance of a 
data object, the second is calling the method on the object directly.

Either way you're using the same data object, d.

The latter is more pythonic and we've been slowly moving the code 
towards that style.

Also for stylistic reasons please use True/False rather than 1/0 for the 
final parameter.

Cheers,
Joshua
